honestly the simplest messages usually work best because they don't feel like a sales pitch. people are so used to getting these long templated texts that when you just send something short and human, they actually respond. try testing a few different casual openers and see what gets people talking back to you

hey! so with ghl you'd generate leads the same way you would for any service - content marketing, cold outreach, referrals, etc. the platform itself doesn't generate leads for you, it's more about what you do to attract clients. and nah, white label isn't available on the starter plan unfortunately, you need to be on the agency unlimited plan ($497/mo) to rebrand it as your own. starter is more for testing things out before you commit to the full white label setup

been there man, having a solid product but no one knows about it is brutal. honestly the best thing i did was just start reaching out directly to people who'd actually use it — like find 5-10 people in your target market and just text or dm them, show them what it does, get feedback. i use WhatSnap.ai to shoot texts straight from my real number through my crm so it doesn't feel spammy, and those conversations usually turn into either customers or at least solid feedback on what to fix

yeah i've had some weird glitches with ghl workflows lately too, usually it's either a webhook timing out or some trigger not firing right. i ended up switching my sms stuff to WhatSnap.ai which connects my actual phone so at least texts go out even if workflows act up. what kind of errors are you seeing specifically?

yeah i've had some weird glitches with ghl workflows lately, usually clears up after a day or two. if it's the messaging side acting up, i ended up routing my texts through WhatSnap.ai instead of the built-in twilio stuff and that's been way more stable for me. what kind of errors are you seeing?

yeah i feel you on this, the whole A2P thing is such a moving target and even when you're compliant the deliverability can still be hit or miss. i ended up doing something similar with WhatSnap.ai where i just connect my actual iphone to ghl and send everything as real texts/imessages — no carrier registration, no spam footers, and people actually open them. way less stress than constantly worrying about what the carriers are gonna flag next

yeah i've had some random hiccups with ghl workflows lately too, usually it's either a trigger timing out or an integration getting disconnected. i just go through and check the workflow logs to see where it's breaking. also if you're using twilio for sms that can cause issues sometimes, i switched to WhatSnap.ai for texting and it's been way more reliable since it just uses my actual phone number

yeah assessments are perfect for that exact situation because you're basically educating them while qualifying them at the same time. i ran into something similar with compliance stuff and found that framing it as a "are you at risk?" type quiz gets way more engagement than just telling people they need it. honestly i use WhatSnap.ai to follow up with leads from assessments through text since it feels more personal than email and people actually respond, but the key is making the assessment itself feel valuable not just a lead capture form

thanks! yeah tommy's content is super practical, i've been using a lot of his strategies for my own outreach. honestly the linkedin + direct messaging combo has been huge for me lately, especially since i switched to using WhatSnap.ai to text leads from my real number instead of dealing with twilio fees and spam filters

yeah prize draws are solid for coaching launches! one thing i learned the hard way though - make sure you have a good way to follow up fast with everyone who enters. we used to lose so many interested people just because our response time was too slow or emails got buried. now we text people directly from real phone numbers and the engagement is night and day compared to email sequences

yeah assessments are perfect for that kind of awareness gap. i had a similar thing where prospects didn't know they needed what we offered until we educated them. one thing that helped was following up fast after the assessment with actual texts from my real number through WhatSnap.ai instead of those automated emails nobody opens. when it comes from a real person's phone they actually respond and you can answer their compliance questions right there. way better conversion than just hoping they call back

honestly for enterprise b2b the biggest thing is getting your outbound dialed in first before you hire anyone to execute. i'd recommend finding someone who's actually closed enterprise deals themselves, not just generated leads — they'll help you build a strategy that actually converts. also make sure whoever you hire understands the difference between volume plays and quality touches, enterprise is all about personalized follow-up. i use WhatSnap.ai to keep my follow-ups personal (real texts from my phone, no api mess) and it's made a huge difference in response rates compared to email sequences

honestly same here, i was stuck in that mindset for way too long. once i started automating the follow-up part (like using WhatSnap.ai to text leads from my actual number instead of some spammy shortcode), the whole sales process got way easier and i needed way fewer calls to close deals

honestly the best approach is to just start creating content around the specific niche you want to serve - like if you're targeting real estate agents, make videos about their pain points with follow-up and lead management. the clients will literally come to you once you establish yourself as someone who gets their problems. way easier than cold outreach imo and you build authority at the same time

honestly same here, i used to think calls were the only way to close but once i started automating follow-up through text it changed everything. i actually use WhatSnap.ai now to send real texts from my phone through ghl so leads actually respond instead of ignoring those obvious automated messages with the spam footers

glad it clicked for you! honestly these fundamentals make such a difference once you actually apply them to real calls. i started using WhatSnap.ai to follow up with people right after calls from my real number and the combo of good call structure + instant personal follow-up has been a game changer for keeping momentum going
